You Matter


The words hurt so much and they are bringing you,

D

     O

          W

               N.

I want you to know that you far from worthless,

You are wonderful and beautifully imperfect.

I know you feel like they hate you,

But they only really notice what's on the surface.

You don't have to let them make you fall apart,

There is a beautiful infinity hidden in your heart.

 

You don't gotta be an echo of someone who didn't even try,

You don't gotta be that failure who is still aksing why.

The truth that you gotta take risks to grasp your dreams,

Even if it feels like you're taking daredevil to new extremes.

If you act now your dreams might just shatter,

I'm here to let you one that you matter.

 

Your doubts seem to grab you and drag you,

D

     O

          W

               N.

I want you know that you don't have to think the way others think,

You don't have to let those lost souls push you right to the brink.

I know you feel like they won't accept you,

But they lose sight of your beauty every time they blink.

You don't have to watch as your believers all scatter,

Because I will always be here to show you that you matter.
